Top pick: #1 (FIVE STAR MOMMA) (9-5) - Filly comes off a career best when she was an impressive wire-to-wire winner at Belmont facing weaker Sept. 26. Daughter of "Five Star Day" ran this distance in 1:09.20 that day and has been freshened up since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Ullapool) (4-5) - Speedy grey filly was also an impressive gate-to-wire winner at Belmont against weaker Oct. 17 in her first in almost 13 months. Fla.-bred has won four of her last six overall, and is the main danger.
3rd pick: #5 (Cape Cod Carol) (5-1) - In shape filly has a fine year going 11-2-2-3 and her stalking style is a plus where the pace will be very fast. Working fast, she needs one of the top pair to be sub-par for any shot at the top prize.
